Ok, ok, I know it has been FOREVER since I have posted. Sorry ... I tend to get behind and then think that I need to do a million posts to catch up on everything and then I don't. Sorry. This is not going to be a catch up post. That is too daunting. So I will get going again and try to do better.
The one thing that I will catch you up on is the really big news. I didn't share this until a couple weeks ago on facebook so don't feel like you are too in the dark.
This summer we are expecting an addition to our family, which is very exciting. Grace is officially going to be a big sister and the really exciting part is that ...
I find the whole boy thing pretty overwhelming. After spending the last almost two years with a little girl it just feels strange to start looking at boy thing. We are very excited and anxious for him to make his arrival, it won't be until sometime around August 9th. With any luck he will have a name by then, but I make no promises.
In any case, getting ready for this little man is certainly keeping me busy. I have been working on sewing his crib bedding and getting Gracie ready to move to a big kid bed. Lots more to do and it is much more challenging this time around with a toddler trying to help me.
You could be like us and buy a 2nd crib...that's what we did last summer, and now we have an extra crib. My parents kept us in their room in a cradle for 6 months, then swapped us to the crib, because the current "baby" still needed the crib.
ReplyDeleteYou will love having a little boy; they are so special. However, I know exactly how you feel. I had only boys for 8 years before I had a girl and it took me a couple of months to come to terms with the fact that it wasn't going to just be trucks, trains, dinosaurs and super heroes anymore! By the time she was born I was swimming in pink and loved it. ;) I know it will be the same for you, I am so excited for you! (Julie Hustead)
